The process of compounding is as follows i I heat the castor-oil and, glycerine and mix thoroughly together. I then dissolve the oamphor-gum in the spirits of wine, 'and then add all the common salt (chloride of sodium) it will dissolve, which, in the quantity named above, will be about one and onehalf ounce. I then add the mixed oils to the spirits and shake and mix thoroughly. I next add the aqua ammonia and tincture of cantharides and again shake Well.
